Letter Written Aboard the Titanic Fetches $166,000 at Auction

A letter written mere hours before the Titanic sank has fetched a tidy sum at a British auction house.

On embossed Titanic stationery, first-class passenger Alexander Oskar Holverson hand wrote a letter to his mother the day before the ship that was thought to be invincible struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic and sank, killing more than 1,500 people.
